Agenda:

We like the idea of a service learning project (especially since Laura has great experience with this). We also think the 4th graders could come up with some great ideas. We want to meet as a whole 4th grade, with Judy's help, about once every other cycle. First session: 8:15 in gathering space, Thursday Sept. 20th - Goal is to simply brainstorm ideas of "ways to help our USM community." We may start with a read aloud Second session: 8:15 in gathering space, Monday Oct. 8th -
 * 1) Meet with Judy at 3:30 to discuss use of library and possibility of service project.

We will offer a bowling trip after school on Jan. 17 (Thursday). Meet us at the bowling alley at 4:15, to go bowling and have pizza. Brown Deer Lanes (4715 W. Bradley Rd). Yes! We really liked the presentation last year, in our gathering space. Not Oct. 3rd or 8th. Laura and Kelley will pick a date based on science lessons. We decided it is not necessary to write a formal letter. Instead, we will each write notes on the top of tests explaining where we feel students need to continue to review.
 * 1) The people doing the raffle need to know what 4th grade experience we will offer. Do we want to tweak our spaghetti dinner, or think of something new?
 * 1) Pineview wildlife presentation - costs $200, Pat is willing to split it between our budget and science budget. Thoughts?
 * 1) Math parent communication
